Chapter 4

Aya

The day after Suzaku rescued Nunnally and me from Zero, Nunnally was inaugurated as the new governor of Area 11.

"I am pleased to meet you all." Nunnally began her speech. "I am the 87th successor to the throne of Britannia, Nunnally vi Britannia. I shall be replacing Duke Calares, who passed away earlier, and assume the position of Area 11's governor. I cannot see or walk properly, that is why I ask for everyone's help. So, I look forward to working with everyone."

She bowed as she said the last sentence. She then continued.

"This is rather early, but I would like to ask everyone's cooperation with something." She said. Suzaku looked at her. I smiled inside, for I knew what she was going to say next.

"Future Princess Ayame and I would like to re-establish the Special Administrative Region of Japan." She said. Suzaku turned, shocked. He looked at me. I smiled and gave him a nod.

"Preposterous…"

"A thing that others don't even dare to mention!"

The crowd in front of us was full of Britannian nobles. They murmured amongst themselves in disapproval. I tried hard not to laugh.

"Inside the Special Administrative Region of Japan, Britannians and Numbers will be treated equally, and Elevens will regain their names as "Japanese." Nunnally continued without backing down. "In the past, unfortunate happenings took place in the Special Administrative Region of Japan. But I believe its aim is true…"

Suzaku stopped staring at us and looked towards the crowd. I could tell that inside, he was proud of our doing.

"…that of an equal and gentle world…" Nunnally continued. "I would like to ask everyone from the Black Knights to take part of Japan, as well."

I closed my eyes for a moment. Nunnally was right about letting this second Zero join Japan. Maybe he will stop trying to pretend to be Lelouch, the original Zero. I opened my eyes again.

"If we can admit to our mistakes, then we will be able to do this again. That is what I believe." Nunnally finally finished.

"You surprised me, Nunnally." Suzaku said as we left. He pushed Nunnally's wheelchair.

"You too, Aya." Suzaku said, looking at me. "That…you want to re-establish Japan…"

"Suzaku…what Euphie tried to accomplish wasn't wrong, right?" Nunnally asked, reaching over and touching Suzaku's hand.

"Right. Euphie wasn't the one who was wrong." Suzaku answered. I smiled and wrapped my arm around his.

"Then you see what we're trying to do." I said, touching both their hands, Nunnally then removed hers, and I too, but I kept my arm around his.

And I had no idea why.

Lelouch

After leaving the gym before Nunnally finished her speech, I went on a train. I looked up from where I sat and saw two children, an older brother and a younger sister, looking out the window. Another girl, who looked as old as the older brother, ran up to them, laughing. I looked up at the ceiling and saw a poster of Zero.

Neither of them were needed anymore…Whether it was Zero or my battle.

I looked at my cell phone as it rang. "Q-1" appeared on the screen. It was Karen calling. I broke the phone in half and threw it out the window.

I used my Geass to remove everyone from the car I was in. I wanted to be alone.

All this time, I've been doing this for Nunnally's sake, yet...

All of the sudden, the televisions all had the broadcast of Nunnally's speech. I stood up, surprised. The train stopped at the next stop and I backed off of it, my face frozen in shock. I bumped into someone, and his magazines fell. They all had images of Nunnally and Aya. I then ran. All there was were posters of Aya and Nunnally.

I…can't…

I walked into an alley where a Britannian had thugs who were Elevens and they were beating up another Eleven. They looked at me as I walked to them.

"A Britannian?"

"A student?"

They spat those words at me.

"Japanese people devouring other Japanese…and that by becoming dogs of Britannians…" I began to say. The Britannian chuckled.

"He said Japanese." He mocked. He then snapped his fingers.

"We don't need no sympathy from Britannians. We are Elevens." Said a thug as they all surrounded me.

"Damn school boy, we don't need people talking shit about what we do for a job." Said another.

"They are happy about the fact they are being used by me, school boy." The Britannian said, walking up to me. He brushed his hand against my face.

"Don't touch me, you worm!" I threatened.

"What?" the Britannian said, backing up.

"Do some push-ups." I ordered using the Geass.

"Okay." He said. He obeyed. As he counted his push-ups, the thugs looked at him in disbelief.

"Mr. Korchak, what are you doing?" one asked. I ordered the rest of the thugs to do other silly actions. I then laughed maniacally.

I picked up the Refrain that was dropped and walked away to a construction site. No one was there. I sat down on a box and put the refrain shot at my arm.

"You came here after all, eh?" a familiar voice said. I looked up to see Karen.

"This is where Zero…where you started everything…" she continued. "Lelouch, I have something…"

She stopped when she saw the Refrain.

"Ah, that's-"

"Refrain." I finished for her. "Karen, you know about this too, right? You can go back to the good ol' days…"

"Don't joke like that!" Karen interrupted. She took the Refrain from my hand and smashed it on the ground.

"So what if you failed once? Just think of another plan to get them back! Command us like you always do! Pilot a Knightmare? Or search for some sort of bait? I'll listen to anything you say!"

"Then…comfort me…" I ordered. I stood up and walked to her. She backed up a few steps.

"That's something women can do, right?"

I angled her face towards mine to kiss her. I leaned towards her…

"No!" She cried and slapped me. "Snap out of it, Lelouch! You're Zero right now! You carry the responsibility for showing us a dream! Then…keep your lie up until the very end! This time perform Zero's act…flawlessly!"

Tears began to stream down her face and my eyes widened at her words.

"Think about Aya! She was always your right hand! The only reason she accepted the engagement was because she thinks you're dead!" She yelled at last. I was too shocked to chase after her as she ran away.

I hoped the last thing she said was right.

Suzaku

"It's time." A voice told me in my mike. I closed my eyes for a few moments. I then opened them.

"Commence the attack!" I ordered. The ships around me fired off the missiles and I watched as the ship exploded.

"They should be trying to escape into the ocean again." I said. "Send our Portman-II's."

My order was obeyed quickly.

"ASROC, fire."

I went into the Lancelot and launched.

"Continue dropping depth charges. Do not break our siege formation." I then ordered.

"Confirmed torpedo launch noises. We have the position of the enemy ship." A soldier reported in my mike.

"The enemy ship is at point L14. Concentrate your attacks. Once they surface, I will capture them!" I ordered.

"Lord Kururugi, bubbles are-" a man said, then he cried out and all was silent from him.

"Bubbles?" I said in disbelief. All of the sudden, all the ships on the radar were lost.

"No way…A mass of bubbles from the deep sea?" I said, seeing the giant amount of bubbles.

"What's this, what's this? Reinforcements won't help this, Suzaku. Gather all remaining forces. Find the Black Kni-" Gino began to say.

"It's Zero! Zero is heading for us!" a soldier cried.

"This...is your answer?" I cried, aiming Lancelot's gun at Zero.

"Don't fire!" Zero cried. "Fire and you will be going against your Lord's will."

"What?" I said.

"I will accept Governor Nunnally's invitation. Yes, for the Special Administrative Region of Japan." Zero continued.

"Are you serious?" I asked.

"Zero shall command…that members of the Black Knights participate in the Special Administrative Region of Japan!" Zero finished.

"What?" a familiar voice cried. "Are you just talking crap?"

"AYA?" I cried.

Anya and Gino turned.

"Ah, so you decided to tag along!" Gino said cheerfully. "So your Knightmare is done?"

"Yes. I was supposed to only come if you guys are having trouble, but I came anyways." Aya said.

"Aya! What are you doing here?" I cried.

"Um, I think I already answered that…" Aya said.

"And what did you name the Knightmare?" Anya asked.

"Anya!" I protested. She was only encouraging Aya.

"Well, it was tough, but I found the perfect name." Aya answered.

"The name…is Euphemia."
